Private Healthcare System

In Australia like in Sydney, we’re looked after by a healthcare system that has two parts: a public system and private system. But this blog is very specific----it's about Private Health Insurance, so here are some information of the Private Health System from www.nib.com.au:

Private Healthcare System
 The private, or non-government part of the healthcare system, is made up of private hospitals, private health insurance companies and other health providers like dentists. Medicare doesn’t pay for these.
The private heathcare system includes things like:

• treatment in a private hospital
• ambulance trips
• dentistry
• eyeglasses and
• treatments like physio and acupuncture

If you get sick and want or need things like these you can get them through the private health system and pay for them yourself or get private health insurance to help cover the cost.

There are some things to remember about the private healthcare system:
1. You won’t have to wait on a Public Hospital Waiting List to attend a private hospital.
2.You can choose which hospital and which doctors treat you.
3.If you take out private health insurance to help pay for your treatment, you might have to wait a while before you’re covered. That’s called a Waiting Period.
